Canada’s most treasured and long-lasting running children’s programs. Mr. Dressup aired for 29 years, from 1967 to 1996, with over 4,000 episodes produced. It became one of Canada's most beloved children's television shows, leaving a lasting impact on generations of viewers.

Mr. Coombs lived in Pickering for many years until his passing in 2021. Mr. Coombs is regarded as a Canadian children’s media icon who has been acknowledged for a number of
prestigious awards and tributes including but not limited to, a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from Trent University, appointment as a member of the Order
of Canada, a Lifetime Achievement from the Children’s Broadcast Institute, a commemorative Google doodle on the home page for his 85th birthday, and an Amazon Prime Video documentary that premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival which won the People’s Choice Award for Documentaries.
1. Staff have identified a location to install the public artwork in celebration of Earnie Coombs.
The recommended location for the artwork is in East Woodlands Park, adjacent to George
Ashe Library & Community Centre (GALCC). The choice of location holds significant meaning,
as Mr. Coombs, through his character Mr. Dressup, was a strong advocate for early childhood
education and literacy. The show often featured story time segments that fostered a love of reading among children. Therefore, placing the artwork near the GALCC creates a meaningful connection to literacy advocacy and community education.
This location fulfills several key criteria that link the artwork to Mr. Dressup's legacy:
• Proximity to a Playground: Mr. Dressup is fondly remembered for fostering imaginative play, creativity, and fun for children. By situating the artwork close to a playground, this project will serve as a bridge between Mr. Dressup’s themes of play and creativity,
offering children and families a space that echoes the spirit of the show and encourages hands-on, imaginative exploration.
• High Visibility: The chosen location is in a prominent and accessible area, ensuring the
artwork is easily seen by a wide audience. This visibility will allow more people to connect with the artwork and remember Mr. Dressup’s contributions to Canadian children's television and childhood development. It also serves as a gateway for new generations to learn about his influence.
• Interactive Design: The artwork is envisioned as an interactive piece, encouraging direct engagement from children and families. Just as Mr. Dressup used costumes and storytelling to inspire creativity, this artwork will invite visitors to participate in activities
that spark their imagination. Its interactive nature will allow children to play and explore, forming their own unique connections to Mr. Dressup’s legacy. The interactive nature of
this project will be highlighted in the call to artists. 2. Public artwork will be commissioned through the issuance of an open call to artists.
The call to artists will follow a two-phased approach:
a) Phase one
- 16 -
CS 35-24 November 4, 2024
Subject: Recognition of Ernie Coombs Page 3
An artist will be selected through an open call. The open call to artists will be advertised beginning in December 2024 through the City of Pickering website as well as external third-
party marketing channels to boost the visibility of this opportunity.
Artists will be required to submit an expression of interest (EOI). As per Section 09.01 of the
Public Art Policy, a Public Art Jury will be formed. The Public Art Jury will evaluate the artists’ proposals in accordance with the Selection Considerations in Section 11 of the Policy. Staff will invite a member from Mr. Coombs’ family to participate in the Jury process. The Public Art Jury will select the top three artists to develop artists concepts to be considered by Cultural
Advisory Committee for endorsement to move to Phase two of the selection process.
b) Phase two
The top three selected artists will be invited to submit an artwork concept. The three concepts
will be shared with Mr. Coombs’ family members for input. Staff will also undertake community
consultation on the three concepts with Pickering residents for input in the following ways: 1)
an online poll will be shared through social media and communications channels; and 2) Pickering residents will vote for their preferred concept at City Events, most notably Spring Fling. This vote will count as one jury vote.
The three artist concepts will be reviewed by the Public Art Jury and one concept will be selected. The recommended artwork will be reviewed by the Cultural Advisory Committee for endorsement.
3. Consultation on the artwork is in progress.
Staff have met with Cathie LeFont, Mr. Coombs’ daughter to inform her of this project. Ms. LeFont is fully supportive of the artwork in recognition of Ernie Coombs.
Staff will share the top three artist concepts with Mr. Coombs family and hold a community vote on the three selected artist concepts.
4. Project timelines and next steps
The Purchasing Policy (PUR 010) requires that the purchase of artwork above $25,000 must be approved by Council so staff will return a return a report to Council in Q2, 2025. Subject to Council’s approval of that Report, the public art is anticipated to be installed and unveiled in
fall, 2025.

Report to
Executive Committee
Report Number: FIN 22-24 Date: November 4, 2024
From: Stan Karwowski
Director, Finance & Treasurer
Subject: Development Charges Interest Rate Policy Update
- File: F-4920-001
Recommendation:
1. That Report FIN 22-24 regarding Development Charges Interest Rate Policy Update be
received;
2. That the revised Development Charge Interest Policy, set out in Attachment 1, be adopted by Council; and
3. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary
actions as indicated in this report.
Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to formally revise the City’s Development Charge Interest Policy (FIN 090) to reflect Provincial legislation. In other words,
this is an administrative housekeeping report to amend the City’s policy.
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report
respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Corporate Key to Deliver on Good Governance – Open & Transparent Decision Making.
Financial Implications: Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act has stipulated that the maximum interest rate to be charged for developments that qualify for a ”frozen” or “phased-in” DC rate, to be the Bank of Canada policy interest rate (commonly referred to as the “prime rate”) plus 1 percent.
The City’s current DC interest policy was introduced in July 2020 due to Bill 108, More Homes
More Choice Act, 2019 (effective January 1, 2020), which first introduced the “frozen” or “phased-in” DC rate. At the time this policy was passed, there was no guidance from the legislation as to the prescribed interest rate to charge. The City’s DC interest policy (FIN 090) had stipulated the interest rate to be the Bank of Canada policy interest rate plus 2 percent.
The maximum prescribed interest rate due to Bill 23 will result in lower interest collected from developments that qualify for a “frozen” or “phased-in” DC rate.

FIN 22-24 November 4, 2024
Subject: Development Charges Interest Rate Policy Update Page 2
Discussion: The purpose of this report is to formally revise the City’s Development Charge Interest Policy (FIN 090) to reflect Provincial legislation. The City is updating its DC Interest
Policy (FIN 090) to align with legislation, Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act.
The City formalized it’s DC Interest Policy (FIN 090) in July 2020 in light of changes that were brought forward to the Development Charges Act (DCA) due to Bill 108, More Home, More
Choices Act, 2019 and Bill 138, Plan to Build Ontario Together Act, 2019. At that time, the Province did not prescribe a maximum interest rate that a municipality should charge on
DC’s that are either “frozen” or “phased-in”. The City had passed its interest policy to charge
interest at a rate of the Bank of Canada policy rate (or the “prime rate”) plus 2 percent, which was consistent with other municipalities at that time.
Bill 23 prescribes that the maximum interest rate to be charged at the prime rate plus 1 percent. Since then, the City has enforced this legislative change by charging eligible
developments the BoC policy rate plus 1 percent. The revised interest policy in attachment 1
reflects this change.
Other changes to Bill 23 included the exemption of non-profit housing from development charges. Prior to Bill 23, non-profit housing were eligible for a 20-year deferral; however with Bill 23, non-profit housing is now exempt from development charges. This is reflected in the
updated policy.
The recommendations outlined in this report will allow the City to formalize the changes to the Development Charge Interest Policy due to legislative changes to the Development Charges Act (DCA).

Policy Objective
The fundamental principle of funding growth-related capital costs is that ‘Growth should pay for Growth’. This Policy serves to ensure that there is compensating interest income to fund the carrying costs associated with the provisions of the amended Development Charges Act, 1997, that allow development charges (DC) rates to be frozen early in the planning process, and DC payments to be phased from in for 5 to 20 years for certain development.
The purpose of this Policy is to establish the rules and practices for charging interest, as permitted under Sections 26.1 and 26.2 of the Development Charges Act, 1997, as amended.

Report to
Executive Committee
Report Number: FIN 23-24 Date: November 4, 2024
From: Stan Karwowski
Director, Finance and Treasurer
Subject: 2025 User Fees
-File: F-2000-001
Recommendation:
1.That Council approve the General Municipal Fees and Charges 2025 By-law (to amend
By-laws 6191/03 and 7362/14), and Schedule I, as set out in Attachment 1, andincorporate these into the 2025 Current Budget; and,
2.That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be given authority to take the necessaryactions to give effect thereto.
Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval of the recommended 2025 User Fees to allow for implementation effective January 1, 2025.
User Fees are an important source of revenue for the City of Pickering and help to cover all or
some of the cost of delivering customer-specific services such as recreational programs, licenses, and processing development applications. These fees benefit the community by reducing the tax rate and ensure that the City continues to provide high quality programs and services.
A general increase in fees of three percent (3%) is recommended for 2025 to address City cost
pressures including: higher wages, inflationary increases, increased costs for utilities and higher costs for equipment purchases and maintenance, balanced with the need to keep fees affordable. The proposed 2025 User Fee & Charges Schedule is included in Attachment 1.
In the 12 months from June 2023 to June 2024, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase averaged 3.38%. The recommended three percent (3.0%) increase allows the City to recover
some of the increased operating costs arising from inflation.
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond
to the Pickering Strategic Plan Corporate Key of Deliver on Good Governance – Customer Service Excellence.
Financial Implications: The revised User Fees will be incorporated into departmental budgets through the 2025 Budget development process. The 2025 User Fee increase is expected to reduce the taxpayer-funded cost of service delivery by $519,000.00 and lower the City’s required 2025 tax levy increase by approximately 0.6 percent. - 62 -
FIN 23-24 November 4, 2024
Subject: 2025 User Fees Page 2
Discussion: The purpose of this report is seek Council approval of the recommended 2025 User Fees to allow for implementation effective January 1, 2025.
The draft 2025 User Fee Schedule was posted on the City’s web site on September 29, 2024.
A Let’sTalkPickering.ca/Budget community engagement page was opened to provide educational information and a space for comments to capture views from the public regarding the City’s budget and User Fees. There were 28 visitors to the Let’s Talk Pickering page and the City received feedback from 5 contributors. The comments received were supportive of
user fees, encouraging the City to ensure that its fees are comparable to other municipalities in
Durham Region, are used effectively to provide non-tax revenue streams, and are increased annually by reasonable amounts to reflect the increasing cost of delivering services.
A. Fee Recommendations
Staff considered input from a range of sources in determining the recommended User Fees for
2025, including:
•public engagement and direct customer feedback results throughout the year
•current market conditions, including benchmarking against other area municipalities
•demand for service
•current cost of service delivery
•inflation
Recovery of costs associated with the delivery of services and programs, and ongoing maintenance of the facilities and equipment is an important principle guiding the City’s approach to setting user fees. The impact of inflation on the City’s service-delivery costs is expected to continue to create financial pressures in 2025. Ontario has experienced historically high levels of inflation, peaking in April of 2022 and gradually decreasing, but persisting over 4
percent throughout 2023 and averaging 3.3 percent for the first half of 2024 (for the Toronto area). The City’s cost for salaries, materials, utilities and building maintenance are all impacted by inflation, putting pressure on both user fees and the tax levy.
Affordability is important to our community, so staff are recommending a balanced approach,
with the general increase in User Fees for 2025 being held to three percent. This
recommendation balances the need to recover the cost of service delivery and the desire to limit cost increases for community users. The City also continues to offer Community Support Programs to assist those members of our community who face financial barriers to participation. See Attachment 2 for more information about these programs.

2.That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute a Municipal Highway Winter
Maintenance Agreement with the Regional Municipality of Durham for a one year seasonalterm commencing on November 1, 2023 and ending on April 30, 2024 and thereafterrenewing automatically for five years on a year-by-year basis beginning on November 1stof each year and expiring on April 30th of the following year until April 30, 2028, in a formsatisfactory to the Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor; and,
3.That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary actionsto give effect hereto.
Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to execute the Municipal Highway
Winter Maintenance Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Regional Municipality of Durham (the “Region”) which will provide for winter maintenance services by the City of Pickering (the “City”) for Mowbray Street (formerly Brock Road) which extends from just north of Highway 407 through Highway 7 and ends at the newly aligned Brock Road as shown in Schedule “A” of the
attached Agreement.
Winter patrol & maintenance by the City has been requested by the Region and will result in a more consistent level of service for City residents. The Region will continue to be responsible
for routine patrol & maintenance of Mowbray Street. It is our understanding that the Region
plans to eventually download Mowbray Street to the City. The Agreement would remain in

OPS 19-24 November 4, 2024
Subject: Municipal Highway Winter Maintenance Agreement Page 2
Financial Implications: The Region will compensate the City for winter patrol and maintenance services provided between the dates of November 1 through April 30, at a flat
annual rate of $3,000.00 per lane/km. Based on an estimate of 2.65 lane/km, the anticipated annual revenue is $7,950.00.
Discussion: The purpose of this report is to execute the Municipal Highway Winter Maintenance Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Regional Municipality of Durham (“Region”)
which will provide for winter maintenance services by the City of Pickering (“City”) for Mowbray
Street (formerly Brock Road) which extends from just north of Highway 407 through Highway 7
and ends at the newly aligned Brock Road as shown in Schedule “A” of the attached draft Agreement. Mowbray Street was an arterial road requiring maintenance in accordance with the Minimum Maintenance Standards (MMS) for Class 1 roads. Mowbray Street no longer needs a
level of service as an arterial road now that it has been reclassified as a local road. Winter maintenance is more efficiently delivered by the City for this classification of road.
The City, as a service provider, has agreed to provide winter patrol and maintenance for
Mowbray Street, subject to a satisfactory Agreement being reached. The City will continue to sand, salt, plow and remove snow and ice as needed in accordance with MMS during the term
of this Agreement. The Region will have the responsibility to provide all other routine patrol & maintenance including repair requirements such as grading, pothole repairs, signage and
drainage. The Agreement outlines the terms, including compensation in the amount of $3,000.00 per lane/km. Staff have reviewed the compensation in relation to existing costs and deemed the amount acceptable.
The Director, Operations recommends that this Agreement be entered into, and that Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement in its final form.

Subject: Council Chamber Renovation Design
- Endorsement of Schematic Design - File: A-1440
Recommendation:

2. That Council endorse, in principle, the schematic design concept for the Council Chamber Renovations, as set out in Attachment 1, and that staff be authorized to proceed with development of contract documents sufficient for obtaining a building permit and to be issued for procurement of related construction services; and,
3. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the actions necessary to implement the recommendations in this report.
Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to obtain Council endorsement, in principle, of the schematic design concept for the renovation of the Council Chamber at the
Pickering Civic Complex (see Attachment 1), enabling technical detailing of the project to
proceed so that it can be made ready to obtain a building permit and to be issued for
procurement of construction services.
Development of design concepts for renovations to the Council Chamber at the Pickering Civic Complex have been underway since early July 2024, following award of the design contract
per Report OPS 15-24 (Council Resolution #548/24) on June 24, 2024. A variety of design layouts were explored, resulting in one preferred schematic design concept recommended by staff.
Report OPS 15-24 proposed that three schematic design options would be prepared, but the
project objectives and building constraints all pointed towards a single preferred configuration. All other variants were found to have significant drawbacks, flaws, or limitations that would
undermine the purpose of the renovation. Key features and project goals include: replacement of aging audio systems and equipment; upgrades to video systems; integration of software and
hardware platforms throughout the Council Chamber under a single software system for better production control; physical accessibility enhancements; security upgrades; allowing chambers to accommodate in-camera meetings; and, preparing for future growth.

While individual elements of the schematic design remain subject to minor change and refinement, it is essential to ensure that the general intent meets expectations. The floor plans
and conceptual renderings attached to this report are recommended for Council endorsement, in principle, so that technical elements of the project can be finalized and the project made
ready for procurement, construction, and completion in advance of the next municipal election.
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority of Advocate for an Inclusive, Welcoming, Safe &
Healthy Community.
Financial Implications: Report OPS 15-24 awarded consulting services for the project. Funding required for construction, including contingency, furniture, fixtures and equipment have been included in the draft 2025 Capital Budget. The recommended schematic design
concept has been developed in accordance with the proposed construction costs reflected in the budget.
Discussion: The purpose of this report is to obtain Council endorsement, in principle, of the
schematic design concept for the renovation of the Council Chamber at the Pickering Civic Complex, enabling technical detailing of the project to proceed so that it can be made ready to obtain a building permit and to be issued for procurement of construction services.
The Pickering Civic Complex opened in 1990, and was designed at a time when accessibility
was not yet part of the Ontario Building Code (OBC), few office spaces made regular use of personal computers, and digital technology was in its infancy. Over time, various components
of the Council Chamber have been replaced, such as with the installation of LED display screens in 2021 to replace an aging projector and screen system that no longer met the visual
technology needs of the space. Ad hoc replacement to parts of the audio systems, including microphones, speakers and control equipment, have resulted in an improvised system with parts dating from different eras, some of which have become obsolete. One of the primary objectives of the Council Chamber Renovation project is to remove and completely replace all
of these different elements, wiping the slate clean to install a completely new and fully integrated audio-visual (AV) suite, including broader elements such as lighting, privacy, security and digital communications upgrades to better serve the needs of the City and its
residents in the internet age.
Acoustically, a drum and dome with extensive hard surfacing pose significant challenges to
successful sound management of the space. This can be mitigated through acoustic treatment of the physical space and tailored selection of equipment and products, combined with careful mounting of versatile devices controlled as part of an overall digital management solution.
Many of the technology-based details have yet to be determined as they require confirmation of the physical layout of the space prior to their overlay, which forms part of the reasoning for this requested approval. A new digital systems solution will be incorporated into the final design, to include electronic voting, pan and zoom cameras which focus on the active
speaker(s), centralized delegation control, digital meeting management tools, and other related
- 124 -

features. These would include the ability to toggle the chamber between public and in-camera modes quickly and easily.
The existing Council Chamber performs poorly against contemporary accessibility design standards, which include several iterative updates to the Ontario Building Code (OBC),
introduction of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and three decades of development in good design practice since its original construction. The stairs and central depressed bowl of the chamber are the most obvious impediments, though there are numerous other challenges. Scooters, for example, are far more commonplace as mobility aids
than they were in 1990, and have grown larger in size over time to meet a growing range of needs. The Council Chamber struggles to provide suitable clearances, even for smaller wheelchairs.
Staff visited all other Council Chambers in the lakeshore municipalities of Durham Region,
including the regional headquarters building, in order to compare and assess options for this
project. In all cases, the floor of the chamber is at, or nearly at the same level throughout, using minimal ramping only where and as required. The proposed concept would see the existing bowl depression infilled to provide a consistent floor level throughout, with a slightly
raised dais for improved sight lines to Mayor, Council and staff participating in meetings. It is likewise essential to consider that any of these positions could someday include individuals requiring use of mobility devices, and that all positions throughout the Council Chamber must be designed to accommodate the broadest possible range of accessibility for all.
Additional upgrades in the recommended schematic design concept includes a separation between public seating and Council/staff seating. This includes relocating staff to the wings,
behind Council to establish better visual connection between Council and the members of the public. All Council and senior staff seats will also be equipped with display screens, like at
Durham Regional Headquarters, so that meeting participants can better view delegations and their displayed content, as well as each other, during meetings. The recommended layout also adds two additional seats for future Council positions, as may be required as the community continues to grow.
To enable in-camera meetings, an acoustic separation between chambers and the lobby space will be introduced through the replacement of the glass wall with a sound dampening material. This new partition will provide a focal point inside the chambers featuring the public
art piece to be commissioned per Council Resolution (#279/23), and a mounting surface on the
lobby side to provide large display screens and speaker systems to facilitate use of the lobby
as an overflow area for especially well-attended meetings.
Council endorsement, in principle, is requested of the staff-recommended schematic design concept (set out in Attachment 1). Approval will allow refinement of the recommended
schematic design concept to comply with all applicable requirements of the OBC and AODA, as well as coordinating both hardware and software elements that will form part of the technical upgrades of the space. The approved concept will also be reviewed and discussed with the City’s Accessibility Advisory Committee at an upcoming meeting to ensure that its
comments are reflected in the final scope of work.

Report Number: PLN 27-24 Date: November 4, 2024
From: Kyle Bentley
Director, City Development & CBO
Subject: New Parkland Dedication By-law, and
Stratified Parks and Privately-Owned and Publicly Accessible Spaces Guidelines -File: L-2000-011
Recommendation:
1.That the Parkland Dedication By-law, as set out in Appendix I to Report PLN 27-24, beapproved and forwarded to Council to be enacted;
2. That the existing Conveyance of Land for Park or Other Public Recreational Purposes,By-law 7955/22, be repealed on the day that the new Parkland Dedication By-law comes
into full force and effect;
3.That the Stratified Parks and Privately-Owned and Publicly Accessible Spaces Guidelines,as set out in Appendix II to Report PLN 27-24, be endorsed by Council; and
4.That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take actions as necessaryto implement the recommendations of this report.
Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to obtain Council’s approval of a new Parkland Dedication By-law, as well as Council’s endorsement of the Stratified Parks and Privately-Owned and Publicly Accessible Spaces Guidelines.
As a result of legislative changes, recommendations from the Recreation and Parks 10-Year Plan, and a review of best practices, staff recognized the need to modernize the Parkland Dedication By-law. Key changes to the Parkland By-law include: revised parkland acquisition rates; the introduction of credits for stratified (strata) parks; and privately-owned and publicly accessible spaces (POPS). The new Parkland Dedication By-law will ensure that the City
continues to prioritize the acquisition of the maximum allowable amount of parkland with new developments (see Appendix I). The new Stratified Parks and Privately Owned and Publicly Accessible Spaces Guidelines will assist staff in negotiating for these items where appropriate (see Appendix II).
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priorities of Advance Innovation & Responsible Planning to Support a Connected, Well-Serviced Community; and Lead & Advocate for Environmental
Stewardship, Innovation & Resiliency.
Financial Implications: There are no direct financial implications arising from this report. - 135 -

Discussion: The purpose of this report is to obtain Council’s approval of a new Parkland
Dedication By-law as well as Council’s endorsement of the Stratified Parks and Privately-Owned
and Publicly Accessible Spaces Guidelines. As a result of Provincial legislative changes, recommendations from the Recreation and Parks 10-Year Plan, and a review of best practices from other Greater Toronto Area municipalities, the City needs to modernize and update the Parkland Dedication By-law. The key changes to the Parkland By-law include revised parkland
rates and the introduction of credits for strata parks, and privately-owned publicly accessible
spaces (POPS).
1. Legislative Changes
In October 2022, Bill 23 introduced several changes to the Planning Act, affecting how municipalities can acquire parkland, or receive payment-in-lieu of parkland. Consequently,
the City must update its Parkland Dedication By-law to comply with the new legislation,
and better equip the City with additional tools to maximize the acquisition of new parkland.
In the development review process, the Planning Act allows municipalities to acquire parkland as a condition of approval for site plans, plans of subdivisions, and land
divisions. The Planning Act specifies the rates that municipalities can use to calculate
the amount of parkland that may be acquired (see Table 1 below). A calculation of parkland using the simple percentage of the site area typically yields more parkland for low-density developments, while the “alternative residential parkland rate” typically results in greater parkland for medium and high-density residential developments.
The changes to the Planning Act also set caps on the maximum amount of parkland
that municipalities can acquire using the alternative parkland rate.

Subject: New Parkland Dedication By-law, and Stratified Parks and Privately-Owned and Publicly Accessible Spaces Guidelines Page 3
The land given to the City as parkland must be suitable for parks or other recreational
uses. Therefore, the City does not accept the following as parkland:
• natural heritage features
• slopes and valley lands
• contaminated lands or
• lands encumbered by underground structures, infrastructure or easements
However, the Official Plan recognizes the special conditions in the City Centre and
enables municipal roads and parks in this area to be encumbered by underground
structures.
Since natural heritage features, slopes, and valley lands are not usable for development, developers commonly convey these lands to municipalities at no charge as a condition of approval. Once in public ownership, these lands are then protected in
perpetuity. Although a portion of these lands may be used to accommodate a
pedestrian or multi-use trail, they are not suitable for typical park programming.
2. Recommendations from the Recreation and Parks 10-Year Plan
The parkland rates proposed in the draft Parkland Dedication By-law are taken directly from the Planning Act. When applied exactly as indicated in the Planning Act, these
parkland rates will result in a much lower provision of parkland per capita compared to
the City’s existing parkland inventory.
According to the recently approved Recreation and Parks 10-Year Plan 2024-2034 (“the new Parks Plan”), the City currently has a parkland provision rate of 1.76 hectares per 1,000 residents, excluding unprogrammed areas within parks (i.e., natural heritage
areas and slopes).
The current parkland rates in the Planning Act will generally result in parkland dedication rates ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 hectares per 1,000 residents. The new Parks Plan recommends that Pickering aims for a parkland provision rate of 1.5 hectares per 1,000 residents. Below are several recommendations to improve the City’s ability to
acquire parkland through development applications.
These recommendations are:
• Update Parkland Dedication Requirement (#54): Revise the parkland dedication requirements and related policies in the City of Pickering’s Official Plan and
Parkland Conveyance By-law.
• Establish Policies for Privately-Owned Public Spaces (POPS) and Strata Parks (#55): Create policies surrounding POPS and strata parks. While these spaces will generally be discouraged, they may be counted towards parkland dedication at the City’s discretion (with both POPS and strata parks being accepted at discounted
rates).
- 137 -
PLN 27-24 November 4, 2024
Subject: New Parkland Dedication By-law, and Stratified Parks and Privately-Owned and Publicly Accessible Spaces Guidelines Page 4
• Set Guidelines for Acceptable Parkland Dedication (#56): Establish clear
guidelines for what constitutes acceptable parkland dedication from developers. These guidelines should address restrictions on encumbered lands, hazardous lands, steep slopes and unstable lands, environmentally protected lands, rights-of-way and easements, and contaminated lands. Include these guidelines in the Official
Plan or parkland conveyance procedure.
• Adopt a “Parkland First” approach (#57): Prioritize the conveyance of parkland over cash-in-lieu of parkland and POPS to address parkland requirements.
• Define Criteria for Cash-in-Lieu Acceptance (#60): Clearly outline the criteria for
evaluating the acceptance of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication.
• Prioritize Spending Cash-in-Lieu Funds on Land Acquisition (#61): Focus on using cash-in-lieu funds for acquiring new land rather than making capital
improvements in parks.
3. Strata Parks and POPS
Some of the alternative ways of providing new parkland and park spaces are by using strata parks and POPS. Strata parks are parcels of land where the City owns the surface (with appropriate depth for plantings, and installation of structures and
services). The developer or condominium corporation owns the space below grade,
typically used for underground parking, or other infrastructure (see Figure 1 below).
Figure 1: Strata park with parking below grade
POPS are park spaces and plazas on private property that are publicly accessible
through legal agreements between the property owner and the City (see Figure 2
below).

Subject: New Parkland Dedication By-law, and Stratified Parks and Privately-Owned and Publicly Accessible Spaces Guidelines Page 5
Figure 2: Example of a Privately-Owned and Publicly Accessible Space (POPS)
Staff recognize that there is a role for strata parks and POPS in certain high-density developments. The reason is the ability of these developments to provide innovative and creative park spaces in areas where traditional parkland is challenging to provide.
The City has already accepted one strata park and one POPS in the City Centre at the
Universal City development.
4. Strata Parks, and Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Spaces (POPS) Guidelines
Sections of the Planning Act, which have yet to be proclaimed, permit strata parks as a means for developers to meet their parkland requirements. Although not yet in effect, it
is clear that the City should be prepared to accept these forms of parkland in the future.
As a result, staff have prepared Stratified Parks and Privately-Owned and Publicly Accessible Spaces Guidelines (the “Guidelines”). Once endorsed by Council, these Guidelines are intended to be used as technical standards when negotiating for these items as part of development approvals. The Guidelines will give clear direction on the
minimum size, location, design, and maintenance requirements for these spaces. This
will ensure consistent outcomes when incorporating them into future development approvals.
Strata parks are not ideal as they have long-term maintenance requirements that exceed the maintenance requirements of a typical park. Where strata parks are proposed, the
draft Parkland Dedication By-law stipulates that they will be credited at 80 percent of the
traditional parkland requirements. Therefore, a 1 hectare strata park will count as 0.8 of a hectare towards the total parkland requirements of a development.
- 139 -
PLN 27-24 November 4, 2024
Subject: New Parkland Dedication By-law, and Stratified Parks and Privately-Owned and Publicly Accessible Spaces Guidelines Page 6
Section 12.10I (e) of the Official Plan states that underground parking is allowed
beneath the City’s municipal roads and parks for properties within the City Centre.
POPS are not ideal because they are not owned by the City, and their maintenance is solely the responsibility of the private property owner. This can lead to slow and irregular maintenance of spaces intended for public use. When POPS are proposed, the draft Parkland By-law stipulates that POPS will be credited at 50 percent of the
traditional parkland requirements. Therefore, a 1 hectare POPS will count as 0.5 of a
hectare towards the total parkland requirements of a development.
Section 12.10C (g) of the Official Plan notes that POPS may be credited as parkland within the City Centre if the following conditions are met:
• the POPS is designed and maintained to the standards of the City;
• the POPS is visible, open, and accessible to the public at all times; and
• the owner enters into an agreement with the City to ensure that the previous conditions are met
5. Exemptions from Providing Parkland
The Development Charges Act already exempts property owners who build affordable housing (as defined by the Provincial Affordable Housing Bulletin), attainable housing, and additional dwelling units, from paying development charges. The proposed Parkland Dedication By-law aims to further support housing affordability by exempting
the following from providing parkland:
• housing constructed by not-for-profit groups for religious, charitable, educational, benevolent, or welfare purposes and
• long-term care homes
Additionally, commercial and industrial developments up to 200 square metres are proposed to be exempt from parkland requirements. This exemption is intended to support modest expansions to existing businesses and incentivize the creation of retail
and services within mixed-use developments.
6. Payment-in-Lieu of Parkland
The City prioritizes having developers provide parkland. However, if the amount of parkland to be conveyed is too small to be usable, or the available lands are too far from residential areas, the City can require payment instead of land. In these cases, an
appraisal of the property is completed, and a proportional amount is paid to the City.
These funds are then pooled and used to acquire parkland in other areas of the municipality.

7. Engagement on the City’s draft Parkland Dedication By-law
A draft of the proposed Parkland Dedication By-law was posted on the City’s website for public comment, and a draft copy was circulated to BILD and the local development community for feedback. The first draft of the Parkland By-law was open for public
comment from June 14 to August 11, 2024. Based on technical comments received from the development industry, the By-law was revised and reposted for further comments from August 12 to September 4, 2024.
The City’s social media platforms were used to advertise the draft Parkland By-law. Staff were also present to receive comments and answer questions during the open houses that were held for the Recreation and Parks Ten-Year Plan on July 9 and 17, 2024.
Direct emails were sent to BILD and members of the local development community. BILD also shared a link to the draft By-law in their July 9 newsletter.
In addition, the Stratified Park and Privately-Owned and Publicly Accessible Spaces Guidelines were made available for review on the City’s website from August 12 to September 4, 2024.
The comments received are listed below.
7.1 Comments Received from the Public
Question / Comment Response
7.1.1 Do parkland requirements add to the cost of new housing?
New development requires municipal infrastructure and services to function properly. This applies equally to water pipes, libraries, and parkland. As a result, the development industry includes the cost of providing
parkland into the cost of all new development and any redevelopment. The alternative would be that the City either chooses not to provide parkland to new residents or acquires new parkland using other revenue sources.
7.1.2 Developers shouldn't be able to pay their way out of preserving park space.
Except for the exemptions listed in Section 5 of this report, all new development is required to provide parkland as a condition of development approval.
There may be times when it is appropriate to collect
payment-in-lieu of parkland if the parkland suggested is too small to be usable or is too far away from residential areas for practical use.
In addition to providing parkland, or payment-in-lieu of
parkland, developers are still required to preserve all natural heritage features identified on a property and may be required to convey these natural heritage features to a public authority for their long-term protection. - 141 -

Question / Comment Response
7.1.3 Parks need to be kept
local, so you don’t need to drive to a playground or a nice green space.
As a first priority, the City will seek to acquire parkland
in the same area where development is occurring. This may be on the same property or nearby (generally within 500 metres of the new development).
7.2 Comments Received from the Development Industry
Question / Comment Response
7.2.1 Consider exempting modest commercial gross
floor area within mixed-use developments (stores and services at the bottom of apartment buildings) from providing parkland to
encourage this form of development.
The draft Parkland Dedication By-law includes a parkland exemption for up to 200 square metres of new
or additional commercial and industrial development. For consistency, this would also apply to the creation of the first 200 square metres of retail and services within mixed-use buildings.
7.2.2 Consider providing a
100 percent credit towards parkland requirements for the dedication of natural heritage features,
floodplains, and other
encumbered lands.
Lands that the City receives from parkland dedication
need to be able to be developed and programmed for both active and passive recreational uses. This requires that the lands be relatively flat, accessible from a public street, and free of anything that would
prevent development.
Natural heritage features (i.e. forests, creeks, wetlands, etc.) provide a valuable ecological function and are not suitable places for active parkland that contain playgrounds, community gardens, and/or sports fields.
Similarly, the hydrological function of floodplains
renders them unsuitable as parkland due to their seasonality and the potential risks they represent.
7.2.3 Consider permitting strata parks and POPS within natural heritage features and other encumbered
lands.
As mentioned above, it is inappropriate for parkland to be located within natural heritage features and other areas with natural constraints.

Question / Comment Response
7.2.4 Ensure that exemptions for
affordable housing encompass all forms, including Habitat for Humanity and other not-
for-profit housing providers.
The exemptions in the Parkland Dedication By-law will
be tied to the criteria in the Planning Act. Based on staff’s analysis, Habitat for Humanity would continue to qualify for exemptions.
7.2.5 When the difference between two appraisals is
greater than 30 percent,
the final decision on the appraisal should go to arbitration.
If Staff believe that a property appraisal is too low, they may choose to have an appraisal completed at the
City’s expense. It is unlikely that the developer’s and
the City’s independent appraisals will differ by more than 30 percent. Therefore, the proposed Parkland Dedication By-law states that if the City’s and the Developer’s appraisals differ by more than 30 percent,
the City will accept the higher appraisal. This policy will
help ensure that the appraisals submitted by developers are fair and reasonable and does not further delay the process by pursuing arbitration.
7.2.6 The guidelines state that strata parks should be a minimum of 0.2 of a
hectare in size would mean
that they could only be used on properties that measure a minimum of 1.7 hectares in size. The
minimum size of Strata
Parks should be smaller so that they can be used on smaller properties.
It will be the City’s priority to acquire traditional parkland. In circumstances where traditional parkland cannot be achieved the City may consider strata parks.
Since strata parks will be owned by the City, they must
be large enough to provide and maintain programming space suitable for a City park.
7.2.7 The guidelines state that 25 percent of POPS should be compromised of vegetation. This seems
overly high. Flexibility is needed to ensure that the design of POPS can accommodate diverse community needs.
High-density developments, that would be considered for POPS, are also required to provide a minimum amount of private outdoor amenity space. This amenity space is commonly provided through rooftop patios.
There will already be plenty of opportunities for hard surfaces in those amenity areas. Therefore, it is important that ground level POPS include a reasonable amount of vegetation to provide texture, shade, and interest that are attractive and inviting to the public.

8. Next Steps
The policies in the Pickering Official Plan reflect the City’s ability to collect parkland
using both a percentage of land, or the alternative rates, outlined in the Planning Act, prior to the passing of Bill 23. Minor amendments to the text of the Official Plan are required to reflect the new Planning Act provisions for the percentage of land for park purposes and alternative rates, as well as the new caps on parkland and alternative
rates based on property size. These amendments will be processed as part of a broader
housekeeping official plan amendment currently under preparation.
9. Conclusion
Due to the anticipated parkland deficit that the City is expected to face, it is recommended that the City prioritize acquiring land for park purposes, rather than
accepting cash-in-lieu, as a condition of development approvals. The City will request
payment-in-lieu of parkland when the lands that would be provided are too small, or isolated, to serve as effective parkland.
In cases where the City accepts strata parks and POPS as part of the development’s park and recreational strategy, a discounted parkland credit will be applied.
It is recommended that Council enact the new Parkland Dedication By-law, as set out in
Appendix I to Report PLN 27-24, and repeal the existing Conveyance of Land for Park or Other Public Recreational Purposes (By-law 7955/22). This repeal will take effect once the new Parkland Dedication By-law comes into full force and effect. Furthermore, it is recommended that Council endorse the new Stratified Parks and Privately-Owned
and Publicly Accessible Spaces Guidelines, as set out in Appendix II to Report PLN 27-24.

The Corporation of the City of Pickering
By-law No. XXXX/24
Being a By-law to require the conveyance of land for park or
other public recreational purposes as a condition of
development or redevelopment, or the subdivision of lands.
Whereas Sections 42, 51(25), 51.1, and 53 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P.13, provide that the Council of a local municipality may by by-law require that land be conveyed to the municipality for park or other public recreational purposes as a condition of development or
redevelopment or the subdivision of lands;
Whereas Sections 42 and 51.1 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P.13, provide for an alternate parkland rate for residential purposes of one hectare for each 600 dwelling units proposed for development provided the municipality has an official plan that contains specific policies dealing with the provision of lands for park or other public recreational purposes at
such a rate;
Whereas Sections 42 and 51.1 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P.13, provide that, for the alternative requirement, municipalities shall not require a conveyance or payment in lieu that is greater than,
a. in the case of land proposed for development or redevelopment that is five hectares or
less in area, 10 percent of the land or the value of the land, as the case may be; and
b. in the case of land proposed for development or redevelopment that is greater than five hectares in area, 15 percent of the land or the value of the land;
Whereas Sections 42 and 51.1 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P.13, provide that municipalities may request payment in lieu of land for park or other public recreational
purposes at a rate of one hectare for each 1,000 dwelling units proposed for development
provided the municipality has an official plan that contains specific policies dealing with the provision of lands for park or other public recreational purposes at such a rate; and
Whereas the use of an alternate parkland rate for conveyance (1 hectare: 600 dwelling units) and an alternate rate for payment in lieu (1 hectare: 1,000 dwelling units) will provide the City
with increased versatility in providing parkland that efficiently serves the needs of the
community;
Now therefore the Council of The Corporation of the City of Pickering hereby enacts as follows:
Definitions
1. This By-law may be cited as the Parkland Dedication By-law.

onto an open and maintained municipal road.
20. Conveyance of environmental and open space lands shall not be accepted or considered as a conveyance of lands for a park or for other public recreational purposes. These lands include:
• required for drainage;
• stormwater management facilities;
• valley and stream corridor or shoreline protection purposes;
• lands susceptible to flooding;
- 150 -
By-law No. XXXX/24 Page 5
• steep valley slopes and hazard lands;
• lands required to be conveyed to a public agency other than the City of Pickering;
• environmentally sensitive areas or lands, including wetlands and woodlands;
• areas of natural and scientific interest;
• portion of a property containing a cultural landscape that is designated to be of
cultural value or interest pursuant to Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act lands required for buffer purposes;
• lands that are deemed to be contaminated; and
• other lands unsuitable for park development.
Redevelopment of Lands
21. Where land has previously been conveyed to the City for park or other public recreational purposes, or a payment in lieu of such conveyance has been received by the City, under section 42 of the Planning Act or a condition imposed under section 51.1 or 53 of the
Planning Act, no additional conveyance or payment shall be required under this By-law unless:
a. there is a change in the proposed development or redevelopment, which would increase the density of development; or
b. land originally proposed for development or redevelopment for Commercial or
Industrial Uses is now proposed for development or redevelopment for Residential Use.
In those instances, the extent of increased density or redevelopment to residential use shall be subject to the requirements of this By-law.
Phased Development
22. For development or redevelopment for which approvals are issued in phases:
a. Whenever possible, the City shall acquire all parkland conveyances in Phase 1; and
b. At a minimum, the City shall require the proportional conveyance of land for park purposes or the payment-in-lieu, at the time of approval for each phase.
23. Where the Council deems it appropriate to acquire parkland in a later phase of
development, the Council shall require the developer to enter into an agreement specifying the amount, location and timing of parkland conveyance. Additionally, the developer must provide securities acceptable to the City, sufficient to ensure the parkland is provided in the future.
Payment Instead of Conveyance
24. In lieu of the conveyance of land under this By-law, Council may require the payment of money to the value of the land otherwise required to be conveyed under this By-law, or a combination of land and money.
25. The value of the land shall be determined by a fair market value appraisal prepared, at
the expense of the Proponent, by a qualified professional appraiser of real estate. All
appraisals obtained pursuant to this By-law shall state the criteria used to determine the
- 151 -
By-law No. XXXX/24 Page 6
value within the appraisal and shall be satisfactory to the City. An appraisal shall remain current for two years from the date of the appraisal.
26. In the case of the subdivision of land, the value of the land shall be determined as of the day before the approval of the draft plan of subdivision.
27. In the case of development or redevelopment, the value of the land shall be determined
as of the day before the first permit is issued.
28. The City reserves the right to have the appraisal peer reviewed. The cost of the peer review will be borne by the City.
a. Where the difference in appraisal estimates is less than 10 percent, the lower
appraisal estimate will be used to determine the value.
b. Where the difference in appraisal estimates is between 10 percent to 30 percent, the mean average of the two appraisals will be used to determine the value.
c. Where the difference in appraisal estimates is greater than 30 percent, the higher appraisal will be used to determine the value.
29. All payments of money in lieu of the conveyance of land shall be made prior to the
issuance of a building permit for the land to be developed or redeveloped.
Parkland Credits
30. Notwithstanding Section 10 and 16, where Council deems it appropriate to accept a Strata Park that is to be owned by the City, the land provided by the Strata Park shall be
applied as an 80 percent credit towards the parkland requirements. This credit
considers this type of parkland’s inherent use limitations. For clarity, the 80 percent credit described in this section only applies where Strata Parks are not Privately-Owned and Publicly Accessible Spaces.
31. Where a Privately-Owned and Publicly Accessible Space is designed and secured
through a public easement for public uses, such uses shall be applied as a 50 percent
credit towards the parkland requirements. This credit reflects the fact that these lands are not under the control of the City, which will restrict the ability of the City to design, program, manage, and maintain the space as it wants over time.
General
32. All lands conveyed to the City shall be on, or within 500 metres direct walking distance
of, the property that is subject to the development approval. The City, at its discretion, may waive the 500 metres requirement if the parkland to be provided is part of a broader parkland strategy that has been established through a neighbourhood plan or other comprehensive planning processes.
33. All lands conveyed to the City under this By-law shall be in a condition satisfactory to
the City. The City may request a Record of Site Condition pursuant to the Environmental
Protection Act. At a minimum, a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment will be required that meets the requirements of Ontario Regulation 153/04 pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.19, for the use of the land as a public park.
- 152 -
By-law No. XXXX/24 Page 7
34. This By-law shall at all times be subject to the provisions of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P.13, as amended from time-to-time, or any successor thereto.
35. By-law 7955/22 of The Corporation of the City of Pickering being a by-law “To require that land be conveyed to the City for park or other public recreational purposes as a
condition of development or redevelopment, or the subdivision of lands” is hereby
repealed on the day that the new Parkland Dedication By-law comes into full force and effect.
By-law passed this XX day of XXX, 2024.

spaces may be encumbered due to being located on top of privately-owned structures, such as parking garages and stormwater facilities.
Location
Strata parks shall have a minimum of 15 metres of frontage onto an open and maintained municipal road.
Where one strata park is designed to directly abut a strata park on an adjoining property, the City may consider modifying the minimum frontage requirements.
Strata parks should be of a similar grade to the abutting public right of way, making them fully
accessible to all users.
Where possible, strata parks should front onto open municipal roads to the south and/or west to maximize access to sunlight. In areas subject to shadows from tall buildings, strata parks should provide a minimum of five consecutive hours of sunlight during the course of the day.
The strata limit of the park is generally 200 millimetres above the top grate of the private
structure's roof.
Strata parks shall be setback a minimum of 3 metres from all buildings and drive-aisles to accommodate any encroachments such as balconies, canopies, doors and snow storage.
Size
Strata parks shall be a minimum of 2,000 square metres in size.
Where one strata park is designed to directly abut a strata park on an adjoining property, each strata park must still meet the minimum size requirements. Alternatively, the combined park
requirements for both sites may be accommodated on the first site to be developed.
Design and Construction
The Owner will prepare a Facility Fit Plan, in consultation with Pickering’s Manager, Landscape
& Parks Development, that will describe how the space will function, including the community
programming proposed for the space.
